Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins

I worked at a coffee shop called Uncommon Ground in Medford, Wisconsin when I was in high school. It was the best job ever! It fueled my love for baking and taught me a lot of tips on how to save time in the kitchen. The only problem was the part where I got to take home all the extra muffins and cinnamon rolls. I ate so many pumpkin muffins it was unreal; which is also why I was so unhealthy and overweight! Once I was diagnosed with PCOS, I decided to create healthy keto recipes of my favorite things like these cream cheese pumpkin muffins!

At Uncommon Ground, we made the absolute best cream cheese pumpkin muffins in the fall. They usually sold out before 8 a.m. A few years ago, I was asked to do a presentation at a large company in Stillwater, Minnesota, and the woman coordinating the event asked me to bring a few food samples to show the employees how delicious keto recipes can be. I thought “’tis the season,” so I made my delicious keto version of the coffee shop’s Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins. They disappeared within minutes!

This recipe for keto Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins comes from my best-selling book Keto Comfort Foods (which is Halle Berry’s FAVORITE cookbook)! This book is a perfect gift and it is on sale for only $15!  That is over 50% OFF!!!! 

To think that Halle Berry may have made these very special Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins warms my heart!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY

“Something amazing happened yesterday!!!

My husband and I have both lost 65 lbs on keto and we both have health issues.

In 2015 my husband was diagnosed with MGUS the precursor to Multiple Myeloma and every year he has to get a blood test to check the mspike (a protein marker) in his blood to see if it is high enough to start chemo. Once it reaches a certain level he will be diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and will take chemo the rest of his life.

This year after doing keto since February and losing 65 lbs he’s more energetic and for the first time since his diagnosis in 2015 his mspike went down 3 pts. I just can’t believe the results!!! ” – Amy
